How to Date like a Buddhist.
“You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Buddhism has been my source of wisdom for many years.
I’ve applied what I’ve learned from Buddhist philosophy to the area of love and relationships, and a major positive shift has taken place in my life.
The notion of Dharma is to see things as they are. That said, if we apply the teachings, an essential problem in our relationships can be solved. I’m convinced that one of our major problems is that we deny seeing the reality of things. We see everything from the lens of our ego, which desires things to be different. Consequently, our actions become unwholesome and harm us and our significant other.
Furthermore, Dharma teaches us awareness, which is quite crucial in dating. Without awareness, we might fall into the traps of our destructive thought patterns.
Although there are no rules to dating, it’s wise to adopt a few notions to enhance our dating life. Not only do we become happier, but we also make our significant other more comfortable around us and blessed.
